Idea to MVP tutorial at TRANSFORM 2020

---

This repo contains everything you need to follow along with the tutorial. You can clone it with git or use the green button to download a ZIP file. Put it where you would normally keep your project files.

I'll assume you have the conda package and environment manager. (If you don't have it, you can install it from here.)

Create an environment

conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate t20-fri-mvp
python -m ipykernel install --user --name t20-fri-mvp

Now you're ready to use the notebooks and the app in this repo.

Agenda

• Introduction to this problem
• notebooks/Data Exploration-Clustering.ipynb
• notebooks/Fossil_classifier_minimal.ipynb
• notebooks/Hitting_some_web_APIs.ipynb
• notebooks/Building_a_flask_app.ipynb (note that this is not a 'normal' notebook)
• notebooks/Hitting_our_web_API.ipynb

We will build everything else from scratch. However, there are 'complete' notebooks in nb-master if you prefer to read rather than type. And there is a complete app in app-master if you want the complete app.
